According to the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020) report, which continent has the highest annual rate of forest loss in the period of 2010-2020?

Question

Accepted Answer

Africa. Africa is correct because the FRA 2020 reported it had the highest annual rate of forest loss between 2010 and 2020. Australia is incorrect because its forest loss rate was not the highest among the listed continents. South America is incorrect because while it has significant forest cover, its rate of loss was lower than Africa's during that period. Asia is incorrect because its overall rate of loss was also less than that reported for Africa.
